MEXICO CITY – Noelia Mesimo may have some trouble filling out her son’s birth certificate. Place of birth? Somewhere over western Mexico.
The 28-year-old went into labor Monday on an Aeromexico flight from Tijuana to Mexico City and gave birth before the plane could make an emergency landing in Guadalajara, Aeromexico said in a statement.
The statement said Mesimo didn’t appear pregnant when she boarded the plane and she didn’t tell the airline of her pregnancy until she went into labor.
A doctor, two passengers and three flight attendants helped with the delivery.
Mother and baby were doing fine Tuesday in a Guadalajara hospital.
“Our employees and our planes are prepared for events like this,” said Carlos Bonilla, a spokesman for Aeromexico. “We are glad everything had a happy ending.”
